"Taormina" is a notable painting by the Australian modernist artist Dorrit Black, created in 1929. Black, who was a pivotal figure in introducing modernist styles to Australia, painted "Taormina" during a period of extensive travel and study in Europe, which significantly influenced her artistic development. The painting is named after the picturesque town of Taormina, located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy, known for its stunning landscapes, ancient architecture, and vibrant cultural history.

In "Taormina," Black captures the essence of the town's scenic beauty through her distinctive modernist approach, characterized by bold colors, simplified forms, and a dynamic composition. The painting reflects Black's exposure to and assimilation of European avant-garde movements, particularly Cubism and Post-Impressionism, which she encountered during her studies at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London and her travels in France and Italy.

The composition of "Taormina" showcases Black's skill in balancing abstraction with representation. The fragmented, geometric forms and the interplay of light and shadow create a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the vibrant Mediterranean landscape. The use of vivid, contrasting colors enhances the visual impact of the scene, evoking the warmth and luminosity of the Italian locale.

"Taormina" is celebrated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its role in the broader context of Australian art history. It exemplifies Black's contribution to the modernist movement in Australia, where she played a crucial role in challenging traditional artistic conventions and promoting new artistic expressions. Today, "Taormina" is held in high regard and is part of several significant collections, reflecting Dorrit Black's enduring legacy as a pioneer of modern art in Australia.
